Axel Christian Klixbull Jorgensen was a "Polyhistor",one of the
very few in the highly specialized science of our time.His
interests and contributions in ch- istry covered the whole Periodic
Table.This statement demonstrates the breadth of his
interests,however,it also sheds light on the constraints of
chemistry which deals with a large, yet limited number of elements.
It is not surprising that Jorgensen went beyond these
limits,exploring the probable or plausible ch- istry of yet unknown
elements and elementary particles such as quarks. Even chemistry
itself did not place rigid limits on his mind,he was able to
transfer his chemical concepts to scientific problems far beyond
the normal such as in astrophysics. "Structure and Bonding" is
intimately associated with the name C.K. J- gensen both as
initiator and author over several decades.The appearance of a
special edition in memory of this great scientist is a self-evident
prolongation of his many contributions to the success of this
series.
